About The Publicist Series – Book 1 – 4: Contemporary Romance Series PLUS a Bonus Book!:

Kate Mitchell is an up-and-coming publicist at a large New York publishing house and is out to change the world, one book at a time. When she meets their star editor, MacDermott Ellis, she isn’t ready for his charism, how drop-dead handsome he is, or how intensely she’s drawn to him, unaware that his dark secret could tear them apart. Kate wants to do the right thing but her hormones seem to be driving her decisions.

When Kate chooses Mac she believes that they can overcome anything in his past or whatever the future may throw at them. And that’s when everything falls apart.

Kate is dealt a life-changing hand and it forces her to question every single choice she’s made, including losing Mac.

As Kate tries to dissect her life, she finds a surprising gift that reboots her career in a new and unexpected direction. Suddenly her name becomes synonymous with one of the biggest bestsellers publishing has seen in ages and she’s welcomed back with open arms. At the height of her success, the ghosts of her past come back to remind her of the world she’d been trying to forget and the man who never let go of her heart. In a city of 8 million people, Kate manages to run into someone she never expected to see again.

Good-girl Erica Teague is out on bail, charged with a crime her ex-lover committed. A lifetime of sticking to the rules has left her broke, burned, and facing a trial and certain conviction, thanks to the evidence planted by her trust-funder ex. Desperate to experience one wild night of sizzling sex before her freedom is torn away from her, Erica heads to a notorious night club in search of a one-night stand — where a case of mistaken identity lands her in the arms of a hot Scot with a secret past.

The passion igniting between them is explosive, but Lachlan MacTaggart wants nothing to do with relationships or commitment. When he offers Erica one month of sex and companionship with no strings, she can’t resist succumbing to her electric lust for the Scotsman. Soon, though, Erica’s ex begins harassing her and Lachlan’s haunted past catches up with him. When their hot fling gets personal, the last thing either of them wanted may become the one thing that frees their imprisoned hearts.

“For two wounded people who discover they care more than they should, emotions just can’t be ignored. This is a well written, classic but contemporary romance story. My emotions were up and down right along with Erica’s and Lachlan’s. I knew there would be a HEA, but it was the journey, characters and smoking hot sex scenes that kept me turning the pages. The characters were all realistic and I loved Erica’s dog, Casey. Lachlan has two brothers and three sisters, so I hope to be enjoying this family in many more stories to come.”–The Romance Reviews

“There’s a huge hero’s & heroine’s journey here, that I quite enjoyed, not to mention the hot sex, & again, not to mention the sweet seduction of the Scotsman who pulls out all the stops to get Erica to love him, while he fights off the ex. I think you’ll like this one.” –Manic Readers

“Anna Durand has truly mastered the highlander romance.”–The Book Maven
